The Beaches of Siuntio: Karskog
Karskog beach is located in Siuntio. It offers excellent facilities: a beautiful lake, a diving tower, and a football field. What more could you ask for on a beautiful summer day?
The beach is initially shallow and then deep, and I understand it's a combination of sand and rock. Swimming lessons have apparently been held here. Vikträsk lake is small, clear, and deep.
There is no actual sandy beach, but rather a swimming spot in the middle of the forest.
In the background are the toilets, and in the foreground is a lifeguard booth. These buildings are not collapsing, it's just the "fisheye mode" of the lens I used.
Diving tower within walking distance
Now for the exciting part. On my first visit, I didn't know there was a diving tower here. It's perhaps a little over a hundred meters away, along a path.
On the way, you pass over magnificent cliffs. These photos are from August 2018, a dry summer, hence the autumn hues.
Then you arrive at the impressive diving tower.
Then just jump off the edge!
The stairs help you climb back up to the diving tower.
You can reach the beach via a path. The beach is owned by the parish but maintained by the municipality of Siuntio.
